表情認知において神経細胞群が果たすロール概念の整理と構造的 知見に基づいた機能推論方法の検討

Bridging between brain structure and its function is crucial issue in the field of neuro science. Many researches have provided the huge amount of knowledges of neuronal connectivities and behaviors. The accumulated knowledges should be summarized in a concept of how neurons behave and orchestrate eaach other to subserve complexed cognitive functions. In this paper, we focused on the neural circuits for saccadic eye movement and facial recognition, and we proposed the ontological approach to accumulate the knowledges of the neural connectivity and its behavior; how cell populations in the neural circuit are interconnected and how they behave from the perspective of role concepts.
